The last year has gone with more bang than bite …
Politics
The political scene exploded with Reform UK’s rise. It asserted itself on the scene with an unexpected win. It got five MP’s and according to its own records ends having sailed past 150,000 members.
It was also a good year for Sir Keir Starmer MP (Holborn and St Pancras/Labour), who managed to make it to Number 10 without a scratch. He won 411 seats, a landslide victory in Labour political history.
Culture & Society
The Channel Crossings took precedence again despite a changeover of power. It remains high on the priority list of Labour ministers. It’s a challenge the UK seems able to overcome.
Religion
The Archbishop of Canterbury that saw in the year, Justin Welby, resigned by the end of it. Maybe it was too tough for him, what with the waves of change and all that. Or maybe it was a child abuse scandal.
Royalty
There’s no change in status on the horizon for any member of the Royal Family, despite the relentless headlines. Maybe they’ve took enough already, or perhaps they’re tired of it as well.
Public Life
It’s also been a year that left us bereft of talent. If the fabled far right trend for much longer, it’ll take an Xmas single to top this year.
